I've learned to ignore them after the first couple of years, having football yanked from underfoot at last second.
They've been on top so long it just doesn't matter anymore, really.
They appear to have no influence in elections. For the most part we keep winning elections.
Stop giving them a win by predicting another 'fox is over' stampede because for over a decade, those that do are the ones stomped on when ratings come out.
